Monchhichi review @ ups and downs smiles and frowns

We were sent a Monchhichi doll to review. Along with a Monchhichi keyring. Ellie was of course over excited to play with Monchhichi.

Monchhichi come from the french word "mom petit" which means very small and cute things. Plus a hint of 'Mon' from the English word Monkey plus the cound of sucking a pacifier/dummy like "chu chu" in Japanese. Add all of that together, gives us the word Monchhichi.

The original Monchhichi Character was created in Japan in 1974, resembling a human like monkey sucked his thumb.

Monchhichi has been around for decades and been played with by many generations ranging from all ages by both boys and girls to even young adults! More than 70 million toys and accessories have been sold in 40 different countries.

Ellie couldn't wait to get her Monchhichi out of the packaging, she was ever so excited. The first thing she said? "Mum, mum mummmmm, looks how cute she is!!!!" Whilst jumping up and down, haha. I actually remember I had something very similar to this when I was a child dating right back to the 1980's, unfortunately I haven't been able to locate mine (due to a house move) but this reminded me so much of my childhood. So I was also excited to receive this Monchhichi doll.

We were sent a fashion 20cm doll review. She wears a stylish little all in one outfit with a pink T.shirt and a bow belt. She also sucks her thumb and wears pink ribbon bows in her hair. "She's adorable" Ellie said. "I really love her little toes" Haha, so cute. She also loves the fact that her Monchhichi sucks her thumb, awww. Ellie told me she's just like a baby and that she was going to go everywhere with Ellie. She wasn't wrong, her Monchhichi doll does go everywhere with her, bless.

 Ellie couldn't wait to take her outside in the garden to play! "I think she'll like it outdoors" Ellie declared excitedly.  Ellie played in the garden for ages with her new toy. And the keyring, too. the keyring is 10cm in size. We were sent the blue Monchhichi keyring and Ellie fell in love with him immediately, she has attached hers to her school bag, hehe.

The doll and keyring are both very good quality in my opinion, they're fun to play with and Ellie really enjoys them, a lot. I personally think they are well worth the money and I just know that this is the start of a new collection for Ellie (and maybe or maybe not me too, haha!) I would really recommend Monchhichi, I think most boys and girls would really love these as much as Ellie does.

There is a lovely collection of Monchhichi dolls. Many come in different outfits, others are classic dolls (there are three classic dolls to collect!). They also have larger dolls in the collection, too. Ellie really likes the look of the sleeping one which has been added to her (ever growing) Birthday list.
The key-rings are 10cm in size priced at just £8.50. The 20cm Fashion Monchhichi's are £20. You can purchase Monchhichi from Argos, The Entertainer toy shop, Debenhams, Smyths and amazon along with a few other places.
